Teharu Sushi

This is a Japanese style conveyor belt restaurant. The individual dishes containing two or three pieces of each item circulate on a conveyor belt which passes each table and you pick off plates as they go by to obtain your food. They charge you by the plate. While the prices are certainly reasonable, the food is essentially to good sushi what a McDonald’s hamburger is to a gourmet burger. The food is often stale, gummy, or in the case of gyoza, cold and sometimes doughy. The worst dish when I was there was a tempura roll where the Rice was so stale that it was actually almost crunchy. Everything is edible, but if you are a sushi fan, skip this one and go elsewhere.

Service is sub par. We were seated immediately since it was not a busy night, but then ignored for about 10 – 15 minutes. When I asked the waiter that we haven’t gotten our drink order or wasabi she asked if someone sat us. I was a bit confused cause someone clearly told us what table to sit at. A side note, this was not the first time that this happened here. Can’t they keep track of the people coming in? If the business is reading this they need to have a better system and fired out the girl who sat us down for not paying attention.
Aside from that, the girl who took our drinks and attended to us should be commended.
For sushi, don’t expect high grade sushi or for those critical California peeps, don’t expect the same quality. This place is good enough in AZ for a quick bite :)

This place has absolutely the worst table service. When I walked in, no one acknowledged me. I walked in and sat myself and was ignored for the first 15 minutes until someone came and got a drink order. After that, no one checked in on me for an hour. I barely got my check 45 minutes after I was done eating and I waited an extra half an hour for someone to come and get it. Don’t eat at this location unless you feel like spending your entire night waiting for service. Not only that, but the same food stayed on the turn style belt the entire time I was there without being replenished so the food sat and got old. I won’t be back.

Sushi is good. Service is not good at all. We waited forever for our order and it never came. Waitress never came over, we had to keep calling her over.

Great food and service! I love going here because you get to choice what you want to eat, and how much you want! If their is something not on the revolving sushi belt, you can ask to have it ordered. I enjoy going here and would recommend to anyone who wants to try sushi, or a die hard sushi fan!

I love this place. The atmosphere is lively and inviting and the sushi is on a conveyor belt, so you don’t have to wait long for your food unless you order something off the menu. I haven’t had any problems with the service here and everyone is very friendly. The prices are very reasonable compared to other sushi restaurants and I like how the plates are color coded, indicating their price. There’s a good amount of sushi to choose from and it is quite tasty. I love the avocado rolls here. The vegetable tempura (on the menu) is absolutely delicious. I recommend ordering some mochi ice cream if you want a little dessert because it’s seriously amazing. Definitely check this place out, especially if you’ve never been to a conveyor belt sushi place before!

Terrible. It’s my youngest sons birthday and all he asked for for dinner was sushi. AYCE sushi. I searched Unilocal and saw Teharu. 10 minutes away? Sweet! After a 45 minute wait (not too bad for a Friday night), we were seated in the far back corner by the bar to accommodate my daughters wheelchair. Cool. Then the fun started.
There was food all over my seat, and the floor– omg. Rolls, napkins, rice, edamame, and something sticky that refused to come off the bottom off my shoe. I pointed it all out to the waitress and she shrugged. Okay, alright, ya’ll are busy, I’ll deal. I should have left. I grab some edamame for the youngest, and we order drinks. My oldest grabs two plates and I grab one. I take a bite… YUCK. Stale rice, warm crab salad and not fresh. I get the jalepeno poppers– tasty. Okay yay. I snag another roll, getting into the «flow». A Las Vegas roll. Deep fried roll. Hot and crunchy, yeah? Nope. It’s cold. Cold and soggy, and the avocado is BLACK. Not brown, but black.
I look over at my oldest and realize he’s had 3 plates. My garbage disposal looks at me and says, «Mom, I tried because I didn’t want to waste our money not eating, but if I take one more bite I’m gonna throw up.» Poor kid didn’t realize you don’t pay a flat AYCE fee, but by the plate. I flagged the waitress down. After I showed her the black avocado on the cold deep fried roll, she removed it from the bill. I paid the $ 25 for 8 barely touched plates and got the hell out of there. We’re all still hungry at this point and decided to head to our go– to dinner spot for birthdays– The Cheesecake Factory– where we were served by friendly servers and my boy got his Happy Birthday song. We will not be back.

Very friendly staff and servers. Sushi was fresh and delicious. We ate here for lunch, not really packed. I just wish there was more variety. Overall I will definitely go back!

3 just for the sushi. Sushi is always good and fresh… if only the servers were able to provide good service. I mean, they don’t even have to serve food… just keep the patron’s drinks full (1 refill in an hour and a half). Apparently that’s too much though. But Bora sure brought the bill in a timely manner.

We normally come here once a week. Especially after I get off work for a end of the week treat. Over the past couple of months we have seen the customer service go down as the popularity of the place went up.
During the week, there are not as many choices on the belt and you will have to ask for sushi (which isn’t a big deal except for the slow service). On the weekends there are many choices on the belt but the service is EXTREMELY poor. As I sit writing this Unilocal I have had to ask for assistance from multiple different waitresses (THREE) only to have one actually acknowledge my request and remember to come back. I didn’t have my drink refilled once, even after asking… and when I would ask for assistance one waitress she sighed and then asked me what I want… like it was an inconvenience. I’m sorry, but this is your job if you don’t want to serve people don’t be in the business.
When people ask me for waters, even when it’s not my job in the hospital I never sigh or make it known it is not my job I smile and do what is requested because that is customer service. The waiting staff needs to realize this as well.

Revolving sushi it’s always fun for the novelty factor! It’s what you would expect quality wise, it is yummy but not the highest quality! I loved the cream puffs, which are something I don’t usually like but these were not overly sweet. The gyoza were absolutely delightful. I also thoroughly enjoyed jalapeño poppers! The service is iffy, both times I’ve been they have been pretty abrupt and this last time they didn’t bring my friend the drinks she ordered at the very beginning, she had to ask a second time after quite a bit of time when the server came back around. Overall it’s a fun place for the conveyor belt experience.

We came here to try some revolving sushi and teriyaki. It’s my first revolving sushi place that we are trying out. Wait was 45mins for 4 on a Sunday dinner night for a table! Took me by surprise.
Service was not impressive. Our server sat us took our drink order. We were 3 – 4 sushi plates in before we even got our water and Siracha. Our server didn’t come back to check on us until she gave us our check. I had to flag a different server down to get more water.
The sushi was good my husband loves the sashimi. You can see the chefs there cooking and making the sushi out in the open. There’s also desert which involves cheese cake and cream puffs. My kid love the cream puffs.
Overall we would come back again, sushi is good and service yeah not impressive but you’re just grabbing your own plate of sushi anyways.

Sushi is just okay, nothing special. It’s somewhere you go if you want sushi for cheap lol. It’s affordable and pretty good.
The service here is very very very slow. They do not check on you until way late. They aren’t as organized as the location on priest. The servers here do not get you your drinks or anything else in a timely manner. If they can brush up on the service, they have potential.
Oh yeah, and one of the waitress there… Lol. We told her that the iced green tea tastes like pure water that’s a light green color… And her response is, oh well I’m too busy to make another batch. Are you for real lmao…

First time, came late but was so good followed up the night after cant wait for the seared salmon!

For a group of many tastes this revolving sushi bar is great. We also requested specific kinds of rolls we wanted at no additional cost. We are now fans

I have always had a good experience here. I probably come once a week. I sit at the bar eat and read my book. The wait staff has always been nice and friendly to me. Sushi is great and very reasonably priced. Sometimes they are very busy and u may have to wait a little bit for a refill but that’s not common. Overall I highly recommend!

Oh Teharu,
I’ve been here enough times with my classmates to write a decent review.
To start off, I never eat at revolving sushi places when I was in Cali because of the quality. However, due to the lack of options in Mesa and the convenience of Teharu, I’ve been here more often than I’d like to admit (A girl got cravings okay?)
Parking: not bad, never had trouble looking for parking.
Service: decent, they only have about 2 maybe 3 waitresses at a time. During lunch/​dinner rush, service is pretty slow. It’s hard to wave them down for a special order roll or refill of water. There is never a wait. So us students can just storm in, grab ½ of the food from the belt and clean them out, and come back for class in time.
The FISH:
+ Prices are fair
+ Salmon is pretty consistent, I definitely recommend any salmon items
+ Seaweed salad is always on point
+ Tamago is yum
+ HAND ROLLS are a must: spicy tuna or salmon handroll. It can be a hit or miss depending on who’s rolling them. But we usually get A LOT of fish in each massive hand roll for $ 3 each.
+White fish/​white tuna is usually good
+Vegas roll is pretty decent
–Squids are awful
–Tuna is chewy, not really fresh
–Fish quality overall is not consistent and more often than not, it’s not as fresh as I prefer.
BUT, Teharu is so convenient and fairly cheap. I will probably find myself here every once in a while to satisfy my fish cravings.

Revolving Sushi!!!
We love the original location in Ahwatukee/​Tempe, so when we saw this had opened up by our friend’s place, dinner was decided. The sushi was just a shade below the original standard (still good), but the location was more spacious and less packed. Also, the service was much more personable.
The prices are still crazy low, and my wife and I ate ourselves sick with too much sushi for under 30 bucks. We will be back, and you should stop in too, even if just for a snack (ya know, like anything under 8 plates).

Awful, awful, awful service. Tables sit dirty forever (gross!) while they make customers wait. Drink orders not taken or refilled.
We went there at close to 8pm and the very limited selection of sushi looked *really* old.
I get that they might not want to fill up the belt later in the evening — but if that is the case then come to our table and ask what we would like to eat for crying out loud.
Because we did come there, after all, to eat food.
We left hungry and stopped elsewhere to get some food in the way home.
It appears that front of the house is run by an 18 year old who doesn’t have the slightest idea of what she is doing. And she is really rude. Suggest they invest in a real manager.

I used to go to the Chandler location a lot but after a while I stopped going… the quality seemed to go don’t at that location… but I was still excited to try this new location.
For some reason, everytime I go there, the place is empty… but that’s not necessarily a bad thing (less wait time yassssss)
Love the fact that I can try different types of rolls but not have to eat 8 pieces of it… and its really fun watching the sushi move a long the belt
My faves include the Vegas Roll, «boobie roll» not sure what it is called for real lol but it’s the one with the red dot, And the Rainbow roll! Yummy!
You can order more specialized stuff on the menu but may not be on the belt.
For dessert there’s random cheesecakes and cream puffs that go around and other drinks as well (I personalky focus onthe sushi)
Anyways… Prices are pretty affordable from 1 – 2 dollars per plate… But it does add up!
Go and try anyways! It’s fun and yummy :)
